You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?

Chapter 89 - 36. The Secret of Yu Shiqi

```

It was a token carved from a bone as pale as the silent night, shrouded in a faint black mist, entwined with strands of blood that flickered like breathing, darkening and brightening intermittently.

"This is..."

Master and Second Master stared at the token in Lin Yue’s hand, their expressions somewhat out of control.

"Is this the Sect Leader Token of Tantian Sect? Your Highness, where did you obtain this?" Master couldn’t help but ask.

Second Master remained silent, his eyes also fixed on Lin Yue.

Tantian Sect only had an acting Sect Leader because they did not have the Sect Leader Token, and even the former Gate Treasure, the Life Token, had gone missing.

Without these two important items symbolizing the Sect Leader’s identity and status, being a Sect Leader was nothing more than an empty title.

"It was a twist of fate."

Lin Yue said calmly, "Since I have just revealed that the Sixteenth Prince is the reincarnated Sect Leader of Tantian Sect, you two should have some guesses."

He dared to reveal this secret because he knew he was about to produce the Tantian Sect’s Sect Leader Token; knowing this secret had become quite normal.

Master and Second Master looked at the Sect Leader Token in Lin Yue’s hands, their eyes filled with complexity.

After a long silence, Master finally sighed, "The aura of the Sect Leader Token has already merged with Your Highness, it seems that Your Highness has already recognized the master of the Silent Bone, haven’t you?"

"Yes."

Lin Yue stated lightly, "The Silent Bone is indeed with me."

At this moment, he deliberately referred to himself as ’the palace’ to remind these two from Tantian Sect—

He was a prince.

To prevent them from losing clarity.

"Your Highness need not worry."

Master seemed to have understood Lin Yue’s intention, chuckling bitterly and shaking his head, "Since Your Highness has recognized the master of the Silent Bone, you have received the approval of the Sect Leader, how could we entertain thoughts of seizing the treasure?"

He sighed, "This old man, as an acting Sect Leader, merely holds a nominal and unrightful title, merely to temporarily soothe the voices within the sect. Since Your Highness, as a Prince, is willing to be the Sect Leader of Tantian Sect, I believe no one in the sect will object."

"Holding the Sect Leader Token means being the Sect Leader?"

Lin Yue raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "But I do not know the ways of Tantian Sect."

"That’s not important anymore," Master shook his head and said, "Your Highness holds the Sect Leader Token and possesses the Silent Bone, and moreover..."

He glanced at Yu Shiqi, who was daydreaming under a nearby tree, and whispered, "Little Fish can become a Patrol Envoy, it seems because of Your Highness’s Life Token, right? Only the Life Token can disguise itself so convincingly."

Lin Yue knew he couldn’t hide it, nor did he intend to hide it, simply nodding calmly, "You’re correct, it’s the Life Token."

The condition for recognizing the master of Silent Bone was the Life Token, something that could not be concealed.

Baili Fengzhi couldn’t help but look thoughtfully at Lin Yue.

At this moment, she finally began to understand how Lin Yue had managed all this.

"Since Your Highness holds the Sect Leader Token, the Silent Bone, and the Life Token, who else could possibly have the credentials to be the Sect Leader?"

Master shook his head slightly, then stepped back, bowed down to the ground, and respectfully said, "Third-generation disciple Gu Jingrong, greets the Sect Leader."

Second Master also knelt down, respectfully saying, "Third-generation disciple Pei Bin, greets the Sect Leader."

Lin Yue pondered for a moment, then said, "I do not usually like to manage affairs; are you sure you want me to be the Sect Leader?"

"The important thing is the credentials," Master slowly said, "Your Highness is a prince, and you possess the three crucial items of our Tantian Sect, who else in this world could possibly be more qualified than you?"

Second Master then said, "If Your Highness is unwilling to manage affairs, there is no need to trouble yourself, you can just focus on your cultivation for now."

Lin Yue was not pretentious and immediately nodded, "Alright, I’ll take on the role of Sect Leader."

He had intended to use the power of Tantian Sect; why would he let go of this opportunity?

"Greetings, Sect Leader."

The two said respectfully once again.

Lin Yue pondered for a while and then said, "Rise, although I am willing to be this Sect Leader, I also hope you will keep this secret for the time being, let’s wait for my cultivation to mature before we officially announce it."

Master stood up, nodding and said, "If the Sect Leader has spoken, we will certainly obey."

Lin Yue nodded slightly, then suddenly asked, "Earlier, did you say your names are Gu Jingrong? Pei Bin? Are those your real names?"

Second Master laughed, "The names of the Patrol Envoys are rarely disclosed publicly, Your Highness, as a prince who had been living among the common people, naturally hadn’t heard of the names of the Patrol Envoys; hence, we simply used our real names."

Lin Yue suddenly understood.

Then, he asked, "You are third-generation disciples? What about the second generation?"

"The Sect Leader is the first generation."

Master sighed, "When the reincarnated Sixteenth Prince, the former Sect Leader, fell, Tantian Sect was also affected, and the second-generation disciples have almost all perished, and most of the third-generation disciples have died, only fewer than ten of us are left, and one unexpectedly passed away in recent years."

Lin Yue seemed thoughtful.

Little Fish had mentioned that the Seventh Master had died; was that the one who unexpectedly passed away?

He collected his thoughts and said, "Since you acknowledge me as the Sect Leader, I’m planning to go to Di Hong City; do you have any advice?"

"Our advice would naturally be not to go,"

Master shook his head and said, "But since Your Highness has stated that you have reasons that compel you to go, we will, of course, offer all possible assistance. However, Your Highness should prepare thoroughly before entering the capital; we will discuss the details with you later."

"Alright," Lin Yue nodded lightly.

He glanced at Yu Shiqi and suddenly said, "By the way, I quite like Little Fish; since you are matchmaking us, let’s hasten our marriage."

Upon hearing this, Master and Second Master were both stunned.

Baili Fengzhi also couldn’t help but look at Lin Yue.

"Sect Leader."

Master immediately said, "Your fondness for Little Fish is naturally pleasing to us, but she is only fourteen years old, and her pure heart is not yet suitable for marriage; perhaps you could wait a little longer."
